Castley Creswell is seventeen. She lives with her three brothers and two sisters in a big house in the woods. Her mom doesn't speak and her dad keeps telling her that God hates the world. Castley can't bring herself to hate the world. She likes the woods, for one thing. School can be fun, sometimes. And then there's boys. God definitely hates fun and boys. Castley loves her brothers and sisters, too. Even if they annoy her. Even if they are scared to death of Father. Even if they're too scared to run. Father wants Castley and her siblings to stay in the family forever. And he'll do whatever it takes to keep them there, even if it means the Creswell kids never get to grow up at all... What if survival means Castley must leave her brothers and sisters behind?

Reviews for In the Dark, In the Woods

Haunting, unexpected, beautifully written. In the Dark, In The Woods is one of the best books I've read this year. * Louise O'Neill * A breathtaking, gut-wrenching coming-of-age saga from all sides. Readers will be swept into the Cresswells' claustrophobic world and ache for them long after it's set aflame. * Kirkus * A haunting family portrait centered on the power of belief. * Publishers Weekly * One of the best books for young adults that I have read recently is In the Dark, In the Woods by Eliza Wass ... It's haunting tale, and one not easily forgotten -- Louise O'Neill * The Guardian.com * I almost couldn't sleep that night because of how big an impact the ending made on me ... the story is amazing! -- Lexi Dupliy, St Augustine's High * Teen Titles *
